you've posted this in 2009 section, which was from last january.
i think you want it in 2010 section.. AND.. it's too early for this!  Keep it in private beta until NANY 2010 opens for projects in a month or so!

i love these fun things.. they are nice ways for strangers to make a connection in this isolated world, and a way for you to show an author that you appreciate their work by spending a little of your time.

can't be a simple update, BUT if you do like a major almost-complete rewrite of an existing app, that has been allowed.
new plugins/addons are also allowed.

In past NANY events we have focused on celebrating those coders who have participated.  I received a birdgram from the site mascot Cody today which informed me that this year he will personally be conducting attacks on all coders who hang out at DC who do not participate.  So if you know how to code, and hang out at DC, I strongly encourage you to participate.

General Software Discussion / Paragon Drive Backup+Recovery 10 Free - good full drive imaging tool

« Last post by mouser on October 30, 2009, 03:44 PM »

Just tried this free drive backup tool and was very impressed.  I normally use Acronis but that's becoming a very bloated expensive tool.  This paragon tool did a very good job, was easy to use, and has a nice bootable rescue cd builder in the program.  Was fast too.

If you don't yet have a drive imaging tool, or especially if you have family members with desktop/laptop/netbook computers, and want a legal free good drive imaging tool to install on their computer, i highly recommend this

« Last post by mouser on October 30, 2009, 01:27 PM »

i've just used it a little bit, and i should clarify that while i found it a pleasant surprise, i have not yet found any compelling reason to prefer it over my current Xp Pro install; or at least not enough to upgrade.  for a new install though, win7 seems like the way to go.

well it's just a wonderful pleasure to see Team Circle Dock in action.  sgtevmckay was here manning the fort for a long time by himself, doing a valiant job, and i really feared for the worst.. then to see you guys swoop in and revive it has been wonderful.

the least we can do here is offer some encouragement and knick kacks for you guys.  so someone get that Team Circle Dock image going and we'll send out mugs or tshirts to the bunch!

I've been surpised and impressed so far by it.  i expected it to be much more flashy and annoying with lots of useless animated crazyness and distractions; it seems a lot more focused on letting you get to work.

Find And Run Robot / Re: sending mails to contacts with Outlook

« Last post by mouser on October 29, 2009, 05:55 AM »

you could actually create one alias based on the email alias that comes with farr, and have a list of results in the alias that would give you the choice of who to send the email to.

and then to get that last step that would let you type the partial name of the person to email in order to filter the result to just that person, you would use the "Result Filter for RegEx" advanced option in the alias.  that should be set to the part of the regex pattern that should be matched against the persons email address in the result list.

We need to make a present for Markham for updating CircleDock and sharing his work with others.
I was thinking maybe someone could make a cool circledocky design image we could put on a mug or tshirt for him?
Any ideas?

New version (v2.25.01) includes the 4.1.1 winpcap installer, plus some other fixes that should make it work better on Win7+Vista.
